There are two things you should never let your children see being made: sausage and policy. The House and Senate War Powers Resolutions were complicated to begin with, so most journalists and politicians were not able to explain half of it.

What’s driving the debate and vote for US involvement in this four-year-old war, is the horrific human toll it’s taking. The United Nations called the war in Yemen the worst humanitarian crisis in recent history.

Sen. Bernie Sanders has been repeating over and over that 85,000 children have died of starvation. According to Reuters, "Some 1.8 million Yemeni children are malnourished, making them more vulnerable to disease," and the U.N. Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimates that 400,000 lives are at risk from severe acute malnutrition."
